Hilarious game! Love the expression on player characters face! :O Nice!

Developer

Nice work. I couldn't dodge the front ones to save my life.

Developer

Yea, they can be a pain in the butt.  They were actually worse when we first started out and definitely still a work in progress! Thanks for playing Collider, much appreciated!

Nice fun game. It would be nice if there was some feedback when you're hit with the wrench. Maybe a sound effect or flashing or whatever, it would give it more impact. 

Great job! Pretty fun for a jam game!

Developer

Thanks atolVerderben! Appreciate the feedback (on the feedback ha!). Will keep that in mind for next jam for sure, as it would help big time I think! Glad you had some fun with it!

A nicely polished game, simple but efficient. In my opinion the wrenches coming from the front are pretty hard to dodge, and i think the game would be funnier if wrenches spawned in a random tempo.

Developer

Thanks for playing gmattis! Oh man, a random tempo would be hilarious!!! Will definitely have to give that a try! :)

The 5 Ds!  I love the movie Dodgeball ㅋㅋㅋ the character animations are awesome!! Good job~ Check out Puma Cat if you can spare time.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I went to check out Puma Cat but it was Windows only and sadly I'm on a Mac without Windows access. Will have to check it out some other time but I dug the video! Playing/moving all over those pages looks super fun! And congrats on getting those solo achievements in! Well done!

Love the ambient gym sounds. Should probably have made crouching lock movement as it's a bit easy to cheese by just constantly holding crouch. Still a lot of fun!

Developer(+1)

It's so funny, because that was on my hitlist to tackle once the game was more or less done and we could tidy things up, but alas, we ran out of time!  I'm really happy someone else found out how to cheese the game! Thanks for playing!

Nice art and I like the concept! Very nice that the wrenches come from the front and the sides to evade. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks RetroBananaMan! So glad you gave our game a try...I kept an eye out on your game progress in Discord but I noticed it's only for Windows...need me to get myself one of those PC thingies one of these days! :)

Yes, I can't put it onto MacOS since I don't have any apple products. And I actually  haven't tried Linux so maybe should look into that. 

I'm trying as much games as possible (I have the time at the moment about 35 left ^^).

Very nice art and fun concept! It was very easy to jump in and get "into the zone;" I think this would make a good mobile game. I think a slight control change for the keyboard would make things better; if the up arrow was jump and the shift arrow was duck it would be more intuitive.

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the tips on making the controls better, very much appreciated!

The first 25 seconds of your video is booting up the game and looking through the UI. I'd recommend just going right to the gameplay.

Developer

Thank you so much for checking out our video! It was our first crack at a jam so we'll definitely keep that in mind next time around! Much appreciated!

Great game, awesome art, and overall very aesthetically pleasing. My only complaint is that it is hard to tell if I was hit or not sometimes. Also, the UI work is fantastic, kudos!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game Demandooda! Definitely will remember to add some audio/visual cues next time around, thank you so much for the tip!  And yes, I was thrilled to team up with an artist as my placeholder stick person and UI was not aesthetically pleasing whatsoever! Cheers!

I also thought of this movie when I red the theme "Wrenches101" :D. Bonus point for the Patches O'Houlihan quote!

Developer

Ha! Thanks malkins0n! Definitely a classic film, I hope we did it "some" justice! :)
